Export H.264 video gives me Elongated Text

I've edited a sequence (HDV 1080i60) that includes some text that I made in Final Cut. When I export the video using H.264 compression/ 480p all of the text in the video gets elongated (stretched vertically)
I've tried different pixel aspects
I've tried different fonts as well
What's the deal?

Anyone else had this problem before?

How to export h.264 interlaced video??

hi, my situation is the following: i have a full hd (1920x1080i50) camcorder which gives me just interlaced video clips with 50 half frames per second in AVCHD. i dont want to deinterlace the material, cause it taks too much time, the quality looses and the filesize is doubled (if i want to keep every frame).
i want to cut it with imovie 08 and then export it back into h.264 in interlaced format. (because i want to burn it to a data-dvd and play it in a playstation3. and h.264 is the only full hd format, which the ps3 is able to play, i think).
but in the export preferences i cannot choose between the options "interlaced" or "progressive". and the export with quicktime as h.264 or mpeg-4 is always in progressive mode, ignoring the interlaced material. the result is a progressive video with 25 full frames per second showing 2 half frames mixed together in one frame with the typical "interlaced-lines-error" or in germany we are talking about the "picket-fence-effect". it seemes that imovie does not identyfy the interlaced video automatically.
the imported videos from the camera are definately imported by imovie as interlaced video. i can check it in the quicktime player by turning on the "deinterlace"-option. quicktime playes the video deinterlaced, the "picket-fence-effect" dissapears. if i do it with a exported h.264 videofile from imovie, nothing happens when i turn the "deinterlace"-option on. the "picket-fence-effect" does not dissapear.
today i already loaded the quicktime update, but i still can not export in mpeg4/h264 interlace.
can somebody help me?? i spent already several days with exporting, searching the internet and burning dvd-rs.
thanks

You should give MPEG Streamclip a try:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
In this program, interlace/deinterlace is an option for MPEG-4 conversions, although I haven't used it myself.

I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy. How can i fix this?

mr
Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
More later.

Can the author please send me an exported version using H.264 video codec

Seems as thou I am having similar problems as other clients are having with movies. My computer guy asked me to ask you this question in the subject line. I have no idea what this means. I sent him a video, he has sound but no video, and he has tried multiple applications, but the results are the same. No video. So, I am suppose to ask the author to send you an exported version using H.264 video codec???? Please help get this resolved!

So, you need to re-export it, this time choosing H.264. What software are you using?

Slow motion 50% export H.264 MOV (at half frame rate)

Hi,
I'm using a QuickTime MOV file (H.264, 1080p/59.94fps, 15 seconds) and have set slow motion to 50% (= 30 seconds).
Can anyone confirm that when I export this clip to 29.97fps I won't lose frames?
I have Compressor and think I found nearly all required settings except:
- Key frames - shall I use automatic or 24 or what? (How can I find out what the original key frame value was?)
- Frame reordering - shall I uncheck this option? (What does it mean? It's not in the manual.)
Many thanks!

If you want to make absolutely sure you won't lose frames, you should manually set a project to 29.97fps, import your 60/59.94fps and conform the video (Retime menu > Conform Speed [the retime menu is the 2nd one from the left over the effects browser area/under the inspector area]). FCPX will automatically frame for frame adjust the video to fit to the slower frame rate.
Key frames (video compression, not animation): a key frame is a complete image -- 100% pixels in use. Every frame between the key frames are only the parts of the image that change from the last frame (like Cel animation). Setting Automatic allows the software to make the best choices of when and where to create a complete frame. Otherwise, you can experiment with different values (up to All, which is pretty much no compression) to see what kinds of results you get and the overall quality (use very short pieces, like 5 -10 seconds.) High motion areas in video are always going to be the most challenging with respect to compression (particularly bitrate), so... it's worth figuring out what settings you like that will give the best results (and 5-10second clips don't take that long to render.) I generally use Automatic and adjust the bitrates to give the best overall results (which occasionally requires testing segments.)
Frame reordering: allows applications to "decompress" video frames in a different order than they are played, thereby allowing those apps that understand it a way to work faster. Larry Jordan suggests that this setting always be set for H.264 video (although I don't if I'm uploading to YouTube -- I try not to give YouTube any excuses for recompressing my video, so I try to have it already optimized before uploading... so far, it seems to be working.)

Momentary gamma shifts in PS-CS6 composed image h.264 video

Before I finalize a bug report, wonder what others are seeing?
Having discovered the problem in a more complex scenario, I've narrowed down to a simple set of jpg images placed sequentially in a video group, and exported as an h.264 video from Photoshop PS6. All is on Windows 7 Professional SP1, all software involved completely up-to-date.
I first noticed the gamma shift using the 'High Quality' preset. It occurs with variations on Vimeo 29.97 and Youtube 29.97 presets. The gamma problem does not occur on HD 720p or 1080p 29.97 presets.
When I view the resulting video through Quicktime, I see a gamma shift for a moment on the first image, making it look washed out. After another moment, the gamma goes back to normal. On other players such as Windows Media or VLC, no such shift is visible.
Interestingly, the shift comes at 1 second when exporting to the Vimeo 29.97 preset, or 'High Quality', while at 3 seconds on Youtube 29.97. Similarly, the shift back occurs at 2 seconds, or 6 seconds for Youtube.
What the gamma shift looks like sounds like the now age-old Apple Quicktime fault on h.264. -- except it occurs only for one or a few seconds, then reverts to proper gamma, instead of continuing..
With the simple setup of single image (jpg) sequence, it occurs only on the first image. With a more complex scenario, some actual videos included, I've seen it occur on every jpg -- or on some -- in a sequence.
This is very repeatable here - 100%. Anyone else who's noticed it? I'm on the CS6 trial, and still thinking whether to purchase, or go on the Creative Cloud.
Regards,
Clive

We're seeing a worse issue when exporting in H.264 and playing in QuickTime 10.0 (Mac OS 10.6). We are using a custom size video to fit a spot on our website (398x498). When exported and played in QuickTime 10.0 the white inverts throughout the video (back and forth). The same issue is not seen when viewed in VLC or QuickTime 10.1.
This is how the video should look:
And this is how they are appearing:
But like I said, the issue is very specific to QuickTime 10.0 on Mac 10.6. VLC, Flash, Chrome, FireFox all play it correctly.

Media encoder crashing when exporting h.264

I have a short 1:30 project I'd like to export using the h.264 codec. The project is made up of [email protected] h.264 quicktimes shot on a Canon 1DmkIV. If I export to h.264 using either the 720p or 1080p presets the Media Encoder will do two render passes then crash with an "Unknown Error". This will happen if I export h.264 or as a quicktime using the h.264. Strangely if I export as h.264 bluray it works fine but then the audio and video are seperate and not what I need if I intend to upload to Vimeo. I can successfuly export to other codecs.
I've clicked through premierepro.wikia.com but couldn't seem to find any answers. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
FYI
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 v.3.2.0 (374)
Windows XP SP3
Intel E6850 Duo Core @3Ghz
4Gb RAM
nVidia 8800GTX
Soundblaster X-Fi

Ok, that worked but Media Encoder wouldn't render out with TS checked using PCM audio, I had to change to Dolby Digital. Once rendered and uploaded to Vimeo the image was displayed as 4:3 but with the anamorphic vertical squeeze even though I was using the 1080p24 preset. <shrug>
I'm wondering if it is the Mainconcept codec that's buggy. Is there an alternative h.264 codec to use with Premiere CS3?

PSCS6 H.264 Video Corruption in QuickTime 10.0

We're seeing an issue when exporting in H.264 (High Quality) and playing in QuickTime 10.0 (Mac OS 10.6). We are using a custom size video to fit a spot on our website (398x498). When exported and played in QuickTime 10.0 the white inverts throughout the video (back and forth). The same issue is not seen when viewed in VLC, QuickTime 10.1 Chrome, Firefox, Flash or IE.
We are also NOT seeing the same issue when we export the same video to a different custom size (336x596). Those videos play normal in QT10.0. And lastly we're NOT seeing this issue when exporting as QuickTime/JPEG2000 format.
Very strange. Anyone know of why this might be happening?
This is how the video should look:

How does it play in Bridge with Quicktime 10.0?
Does Bridge use QuickTime by default? Or is there an option to modify this?
The video plays fine in Bridge CS6 but shows the corruption issue in Bridge CS5.

Compression help! Stuttering HD export h.264???

Guys,
This is a problem I have had for a long time. I am just realizing it isn't a hardware playback issue and more likely my export settings which is causing this issue. I am trying to export h.264 .mov files of 3d animation. The res. is 1280 x 720. This problem has existed for FAR to long for me and I just can't stand it anymore. The frames are rendered out of Modo or Maya as .TGA. I then export using a variety of settings as either h.264 or mpeg-4 on a quad g5, or a MacbookPro Core 2 duo 2.33Ghz, or a MacPro Octo all with lots of ram and yet the stuttering on playback of the exported sequences continue. Could someone point me to suggestions for setting the export options properly? I am about to sell a slew of tutorials for the Modo 3D, Maya and Unity 3D communities and I would obviously like my videos to playback without stuttering. Any help would be appreciated IMMENSELY
Thanks for your time.
Gary Haus

Thanks for your continued help. Here is a link to the .mov file
right mouse and save as to download it. About 25Mb
www.pixelmojo.com/HexaCOLOUR_Test2.mov
This is the background(not finished rendering) for the eventual composite.
Open Quicktime Pro. Open Image sequence from File menu. Choose the first file in the list of frames. Choose export form file menu. Set type to Quicktime movie. Change options to compression type - None. Millions of colors(no need for Alpha) Best quality. Set name and wait for QT to 'bake' it out.
Then using the uncompressed file I export to h.264 or .mpeg-4 with different settings. You can see the attached movie doesn't run very smoothly at certain points.
Thanks again,
Gary

Premiere CC export h.264 with artefacts

Hi!
I am very disappointed how Premiere CC export h.264.
Every time exported movie have artifacts.
Every time in different places.
I have delete all cache, changed nvidia drivers., finally removed all nvidia drivers and expored without them.
The result is - always artefacts - like colored squares on video or
like this
http://savepic.net/3898131.htm
Premiere cc 7.01
Nvidia gtx-660
Sequence-match export-1920x1080 25p 16Mb CBR.
Footages Not spanned MTS from Sony Nex-100
Effect - fast color correct.
What can I do? It is impossible to work!!!
Update.
Just export to lagarith from Premiere
The result is also with artifacts.
http://savepic.net/3879699.htm
Then import lagarith avi to media encoder and export to h.264
And what I see - there are new artifacts.
http://savepic.net/3882771.htm

This is exactly my experience with Premiere CS6 and CC h264 export.
The artefacts I had are not as bad as you show in your pics, but always exist in every export.
Now, I'm using UT-codec to export and convert it without artefacts with TMPGenc x264.

How to export H.264 in a .MOV container in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014?

Hi!
I'm editing video on a regular basis, and the broadcasting network I'm working with is asking for an H.264 video in a .MOV file format. I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and love it, but I cannot seem to find the option to export H.264 in a Quicktime video format. Additionally, they want the video in interlaced format, but there is no 720i option.
Assistance is greatly appreciated!

As the image to the right shows, I have no h.264 option.
Would HandBrake be a good way to encode in h.264 and export to .mov? I'd really like to do it directly from Premiere, but HandBrake is as good a solution as any...

Jumpy playback when exporting mixture of video and stills

I have 2 still frames (jpgs) nestled between video clips on my time line to create a crude animation. When I watch the sequence playback on the FCP canvas, everything looks nice and smooth, but when I export a .mov or .flv, the playback skips over these still frames and just jumps to a slightly earlier spot in the video footage and continues playback. Even if I go frame by frame, the stills are no where to be found in the exported .mov. What gives?

put your playhead over the clip you want to freeze in the timeline and then hit Shift+N this will send a extendable freeze frame of your clip in the viewer. You can drop that clip from the viewer back in your timeline.

Hi, attempting to export h.264 for an mp4 but premiere cc automatically making m4v with two sep files

hi, attempting to export h.264 for an mp4 file, but premiere cc automatically making m4v with two sep. files. This never happened before. The project had an issue with the GPu and I had to hack the cusa text file. I'm wondering if I messed something up and what should I do to retify. Thanks

Correct except that at the end of encode it stays as two sep files..with
this proj. I narrowed it down vrb1 vs vbr2.. its a two hour project. I just
attempted a second attempt at vbr1..it should work. I will keep everyone
posted..thank you all for the responses. I will be sure to be in contact
with youu all.
